Plan maintenance for maritime
engineering systems
1.2
The interpretation and format of collated information meet the needs of the
determined maintenance requirement.
Range:
information may include but is not limited to - maintenance
intervals, actual and desired condition, routine servicing
requirements, restoration and repair requirements, availability of
resources, safety requirements and precautions.
1.3
Information on forecast condition is accurate with respect to known rates of
deterioration.
1.4
The levels of priority and timing of maintenance requirements are identified with
respect to overall ship safety, commercial operations, commercial viability, and
survey requirements.
1.5
Maintenance requirements are achieved and fulfil the needs and demands of
safe and efficient plant operation.
Range:
efficient operation is defined as operation at a state consistent
with plant age, level of serviceability, and function.
element 2
Plan the short term implementation of marine engineering maintenance.
performance criteria
2.1
Maintenance plans project maintenance evenly over available time scale.
Range:
maintenance plans include - routine maintenance and servicing
plans, restoration and repair plans, protection from the
environment plans.

2.2
Maintenance plans are within the constraints of time, manpower, and resources
available.
Range:
2.3
Maintenance plans co-ordinate maintenance to minimise interdepartmental
conflict.
Range:
2.4
plans include - short term implementation, one week to six
months, daily schedules including repair or maintenance.
plans may cover - resources, methods and procedures, safety
precautions, limits of responsibility, quality requirements, quantity
requirements, acceptance criteria.
Work methods and activities are consistent with current operational priorities,
organisational objectives, and include opportunities for individual performance
development.
Range:
activities include - critical and routine activity.
2.5
Work methods and activities optimise the use of available material, capital, and
people, and plans are made in close consultation with effected departments.
2.6
Work methods and activities are specified to ensure that maintenance
objectives are achieved.
2.7
Plans are recorded for reference and comply with statutory and organisational
requirements.

Please Note:
Providers must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority
before they can offer programmes of education and training
assessed against unit standards.
Accredited providers assessing against unit standards must
engage with the moderation system that applies to those unit
standards. [Please refer to relevant Plan ref: 0054].
